I have been told you can do your theory test 3 months before your 17. Is this true?
I want to do a one week intensive driving course a few days after i turn 17 but need to get the theory done.
Thanks

i wouldnt do the course cus as stated above you dont experience much in a week and driving a car is different from riding a bike, i got my test 1st july but go out every nite in my own car i find i learn more that way, up to you though,

Na near southampton and bournemouth. I wonder if you dont pass after doing an intensive course they will make sure you pass it with more lessons.

there are courses that supposedly guarantee that you pass,
pay them a set amount of dosh, they teach you to drive till you pass
